Block off the vacuum line to the distributor and put a timing light on it. Rotate the distributor to about 8 degrees BTDC at idle (750 rpm) and clamp it down tight. Reconnect the vacuum line and you should be good to go. You could experiment by increasing the advance in two degree increments until performance suffers and then back off 1 degree. You would rarely benefit from going beyond 14 degrees BTDC.
